(2008-09-03) — Sen. Barack Obama, the Democrat presidential nominee, reacting to the growing concern about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s lack of foreign policy experience, today asked his staff in Washington D.C. to introduce legislation creating a $44 billion program to “teach girls about other countries.”
“My bill will not only help future female vice presidential candidates to get up to speed,” said Sen. Obama, “but it also addresses a larger problem. If Sarah Palin, a state executive and commander of the National Guard, doesn’t understand foreign policy, then imagine the vast ignorance of female voters.”
“Women are more than half of the population, and there are millions of them out there that we’re counting on to pick our nation’s leaders,” Sen. Obama said. “If Sarah Palin is not competent to be one, how can we expect American women to be smart enough to pick one?”

I’ve noticed I haven’t put much that’s positive on my blog and when this happened I thought it be fun to blog about. So anyway, it all started on Thanksgiving when my brother, my momma and I were all sitting around after dinner bored out of our minds. I finally had to do something and asked them if they wanted to see if the video store was open. My brother immediately said yes and my momma didn’t want to go. I’d been dieing to see Wall-E sin... more

#5. If Sarah Palin leaves her clothes behind, I want to be where she is!
#4. The SDS rejected my application for still having all my own fingers.
#3. The real Sarah is much more attractive. And smarter.

If Sarah Palin really has stopped listening to advice from her handlers in the McCain campaign, it suggests at least one person in the Republican campaign is thinking rationally.

Yesterday, I noted an AP story on the recent contempt of Congress vote that, well… had a few problems.
In the least troubling of the errors, the reporter — Laurie Kellman — misidentified Rep. Jon Porter (R-NV) as a Democrat.
OK, not such an awful mistake. At least, not by itself. And the AP’s Director of Media Relations, Paul Colford, e-mailed to point out that the AP had in fact already put out a corrected version of the article.
But Kellman didn’t... more

Tonight’s schedule, with pledged delegates in parenthesis):
Vermont (15), 7 p.m. ET
Ohio (141), 7:30 p.m. ET
Rhode Island (21) 9 p.m. ET
Texas (193) 9 p.m. ET, but El Paso is in a different time zone, so closes an hour later. And, to make things extra complicated, the caucuses begin after the polls close.
Vermont will get called quickly for Obama. The rest should take a while to report winners. And Texas, sheesh, that one will be conf... more
The Obama campaign may be planning ahead (something the Clinton campaign never thought of, apparently), but it’s clear that they’re also paving the way for a serious push to knock Clinton out of the race this week.
